Overview

• In a JDD interview, the RN leader said Delphine Ernotte had overstepped her role and described her as a left-leaning activist.
• Le Pen argued that public service media must be irreproachably neutral and questioned spending about €4 billion a year on what she called a partisan behemoth.
• Ernotte recently told Le Monde that CNews is an opinion outlet and suggested it should assume being an extreme-right channel.
• The confrontation follows the Legrand‑Cohen affair, with public broadcasters countering accusations from Bolloré-linked media by appealing to the regulator Arcom.
• The standoff involves Vincent Bolloré’s outlets, including JDD and CNews, and comes days before a Court of Auditors report on Ernotte’s management.
